I do not understand the question.
I originally setup Apache with svn setup.
As I wrote, I can use both ways.
Can I disable on of them? How?

>'svnserve' process
What do to mean?

>Did you configure the svnserve.conf file?
Yes, as you wrote, to:
anon-access = write
auth-access = write

As before, I can checkout, but can't check in "Authorization failed" error.
Change to:
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
It did not change either, even after SVN service restart.
SVN service statement: "D:\Program Files\CollabNet Subversion
Server\svnserve.exe" --service -r "D:\svn_repository" --listen-port "3690"

It is looks like there is no effect.

Of course, the URL I used was: "svn://localhost/<repositortName>"

The book did not help. I read chapter 6 before posting the question.

Thanks,
Hope you can help.

One step at a time...

Did you setup Apache and setup Apache to checkout from Subversion via
the dav_svn_module module? If not, you cannot use the http://
protocol. Instead, you need to svn:// protocol, but only if you
started "svnserve".

If you did setup the "svnserve" process (which it looks like since you
were able to do a checkout) did you configure the svnserve.conf file?
This file is located under the "conf" directory inside your
repository. If you don't want any authorization (i.e. allow anonymous
commits), you need to modify the following two lines:

# anon-access = read
# auth-access = write

To this:

anon-access = write
auth-access = write

If you want to prevent anonymous commits, you need to leave these two
lines alone, and modify this line:

# password-db = passwd

To this:

password-db = passwd

Then, you need to edit the "passwd" file which is in the same
directory as the svnserve.conf file, and setup the user accounts. The
passwd file tells you how to do this.

If you don't want just anyone checking out your files, then you need
to modify these two lines in svnserve.conf:

# anon-access = read
# auth-access = write

to:

anon-access = none
auth-access = write

If you have never used or setup Subversion before, take a quick look
at the Subversion book at http://svnbook.com, and take a good look at
Chapter #6 on Server Configuration.
